Ender Starr ’23 concentrates on the ball as he aims to knock
down all 10 pins. Starr, a varsity bowler, placed fourth overall
during a tournament against Waukegan, Dec. 3.
A bowling ball rolls down the lane and connects with the
pins to earn a strike. To boost their chance of a strike, players
often utilize a cradle technique to increase the velocity and
accuracy of their throw.
One teammate remains in outstretched form after rolling the
ball down the lane. Players perfect their technique during
bowling practices, including their follow-through.
